Wesleyans To Build
New Church Facilities
East Gold Street Wesleyan
Church of Kings Mountain has
purchased 7.5 acres of land on
East Gold Street and plans to
construct a new church building.
Rev. George Simmons, pastor,
said preliminary plans call for a
sanctuary which will seat 300 to
350 people and an educational
building which would ac-
comodate about 400.
A fellowship area is also plan-
ned, as well as huge parking
facilities, and a possible day care
center for children from two to
five years old. More activities for
senior citizens are also planned.
“At the present location, we
have no room for expansion and
very little parking space,” Rev.
Simmons said. “The American
Legion has been so kind as to let
the church use their parking
area. The people, realizing their
limitations at the present loca-
tion, chose to relocate on the
seven and a half acre tract of
land at the corner of East Gold
Street and Oriental Avenue.”
The land was purchased
recently from the Kiser Estate.
How soon construction will
begin on the new building will
depend largely on how soon the
present church building can be
sold. The church is working with

an architect in drawing up plans
for the new sanctuary and other
needed buildings.
“The whole idea behind
relocating is to reach out in the
community in a more effective
way, to provide spiritual leader-
ship for the entire family, plus
reaching out to meet the social
needs of its people,” Rev. Sim-
mons said. “It is hopeful that the
new edifice will be used seven
days per week, rather than just
on Sunday and Wednesday
nights. The church’s vision for
the future is to be able to serve
the people of Kings Mountain’s
spiritual and social needs.”
First Wesleyan Church was
organized October 12, 1945,
when several interested families
gathered for the purpose of
beginning a Wesleyan Church in
the community. The church
began with 22 members and has
enjoyed growth over the 39
years to 133 full church
members and 175 Sunday
School members. The church
had its beginning in a small con-
crete block building that has .
{been brick veneered and several |
additions and improvements
made. A parsonage was built and
later an educational building was
erected.
Members of the new church
building committee are Jim Con-
nor and Will Huntsingers,
trustees; Seimore Biddix and
Don Ware, laymen; Steve
Brown, Sunday School
Superintendent; Jay Biddix, vice-
chairman of the Church Board;
Gertie Barnett, treasurer; Ollie
Wheeler, member of the Church
Board; Audrey Biddix, secretary;
and Rev. Simmons.
